Are you a technically strong Financial Controller who takes pride in creating robust financial controls, accurate reporting and disciplined cash-flow management?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a unique and growing business operating within a fast-paced FMCG environment. Working closely with Group and Divisional Finance, you will take ownership of the financial control framework and ensure the business has reliable reporting, effective governance and clear financial visibility.
You will lead monthly reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow management while coordinating internal, external and customer audits. You will also improve and standardise finance processes, produce meaningful management information and develop a small finance team.
Although financial control is at the heart of the position, you will need the judgement and business awareness to interpret the numbers, identify risks and support sound commercial decisions.
